Knowing that many water utilities don't typically tabulate all of this data, the software allows the <br />user to enter either known (measured) or estimated (quantities that must be approximated) <br />values. The software then calculates a variety of performance indicators which are useful in <br />making performance comparisons among water utilities. <br />Task 3 — Prepare Colorado Water Loss Guidance Document <br />Using the new AWWAI�Water Audits and Loss Control Programs manual as the <br />fundamental basis, the research team will prepare a Colorado- specific water loss audit and <br />control guidance document. This guidance document will be a companion piece to the AWWA <br />manual and will provide specific assistance and instructions to utilities seeking to implement the <br />industry standard water loss procedures. It will outline the reasons why implementing this water <br />loss procedure is a best management practice and why it represents such an improvement over <br />older practices. The anticipated costs of implementation will also be addressed. <br />The g uidance document will include a checklist of data requirements necessary for implementing <br />the water loss procedures as well as information on how to obtain or estimate data not readily <br />available. <br />The guidance document will also include proposed language for revising the Colorado water <br />conservation planning statute, §37.60.126 C.R.S. and the CWCB's Guidelines for the Office to <br />Review Water Conservation Plans Submitted by Covered Entities, to specify how water utilities <br />should include water loss procedures into their water conservation plans. <br />The guidance document will be distributed through the CWCB web site and other venues as a <br />free tool to water providers in Colorado. <br />Task 4 — Present Findings <br />The project team will work to publicize the results of this project to the maximum extent <br />possible. Presentations to the CWCB, various water providers, and at meetings and conferences <br />are envisioned. <br />* The CWCB will assist in researching water loss practices in other western states. The CWCB <br />will supervise this project; provide oversight and review all deliverables. <br />Aquacraft, Inc. 303 - 786 -9691 <br />www.aQuacraft.com mayer @aquacraft.com <br />
